driving to Penang from cyber. well with regular breaks & re fuelling, i dont find it uncomfortable. minus the odd design for placing the head, which most have turned to a head rest or pillow. and problem with tall guys like us. (im 6'1) thigh will tire out first, then comes the weird leg placing of the knee where the side will just bump off or rub the side of center console

done a few trips i'm 172cm tall, the seat base is short, lack of back of knee support for long distance. As for the lumbar and headrest i find it OK because my driving position is quite upright and the back of my head always touch the headrest which is good as it reduces chances of whiplash. most cars the headrest are abit further back and cannot be tilted foward which i dont quite like

the driving position is not the very best but i can make it work with the help of the telescope adjustment of the steering wheel

wanna to ask. what maximum size of battery x50 can be use?
any suggestion?

some users reported about engine and gb but i think the issue is very minimal. like 0.1%? but the same gearbox used in x70 got many users reported problem. dont understand why maybe because x70s weight. so far the engine and gb for x50 is proven reliable, but not on fuel consumption.
latest batch got many battery related problem. some reported battery, some reported sockets, some reported alternator.

it still last lol...
yesterday go bateriku.com store test, still 84% with 725cca (or 7xx something)
but maybe not so accurate lo, because by that time my car already run like 20minute from cold, stop engine and test.
and they suggest i re-equip din55 astro battery...not sure how good it is, and DIN62 they have no stock.
problem?
common will be sunroof leak, wind noise etc.
if engine, probably few cases where 0w20 too thin and blow up few. after 5w30 seen like never heard.

transmission hard to say, sound like got few cases but didnt know how their progress.
x70 gearbox issue 99% from CBU 6AT.
but will solve after claim another 6AT (or they straight give 7DCT?)

battery issue really hard to say.
old owner wind noise live with it., new x50 already solve the wind noise.
other major parts go broken proton will warranty you...just need to wait je
as it order based, you got gg gearbox baru order gearbox.

May I ask what is the battery size do?
Any difference using DIN55 vs DIN62, I see the price is about RM100 different.
Does bigger size provide longer battery lifespan? Sorry I am noob about battery

Anyone hearing whistling sounds every time pressing the brake pedal? Went to SC to check and they said it’s common issue for X50 because of the materials.

Mileage is only 8KM.
This is the exact sound and situation I’m experiencing.

Wonder why proton didnt use iridium spark plug.
Not sure on the EO fully synthetic or not but x50 used more eo than civic hence the high price. I guess will check with honda when i do 10k km services later. Honda didnt change eo during 1000km.

At least x50 service maintenance are not that confusing compared to honda civic turbo service maintenance. It is either by month, mileage or when the car said need to change eo. Got type a type b service maintenance. 😵

Ehev just fixed month or mileage like x50.
Haih kena service 2 cars next month. Didnt expect 40k km need RM600+ 😂

Sure Iridium spark plugs is the way to go but honestly I wonder if it can perform at its peak throughout the 100k km or 5 years since we know carbon will eventually build up in the combustion chamber.

For the proper EO viscosity it is partly questionable? Since the initial launch of the X50, the original available EO was the Shell 0W-20 a specification same as the Geely Coolray in Philippines or our Volvo XC40 T5 1.5L (if you consider that engine to be the same). I personally did achieve slightly better FC than the current Petronas 5W-30 as required by the Proton Book however upon checking on the Geely Coolray oil catalog it did specify both 0W-20 and 5W-40 is applicable a difference in viscosity & volume compared what Proton specify.

For carbon build up really need to send for walnut blasting

Hi I last went for my service at this center also, the same thing they asked me to replace my battery at some other sc because it getting weak. guess what, when i head back to pick up my car, it just break down at the sc. Lucky it break down on the spot, imagine if i have to drive around to other sc.

Mine approaching 2nd year, things were going well especially the heavily criticized 3 cylinder engine still doing its job too without noticeable worsened vibration.

Since the new batch all came with updated side mirror, wind noise will no longer be a concern.

Compared to other makes I think the non Android Auto/Carplay headunit is the only deal breaker to me, if you can accept that it should be a decent car.

Exec is good enough for normal usage, Flagship is only if you fancy those L2 autonomous, better & larger head unit and better looking RIM.

Either this or Hankook VP4 if have available size.

Worst case scenario if no stock, Toyo CR1 SUV.

My car is used as retirement folks car. So driving style is quite laid back

even new its like that, its 3 cylinders; but inside very quiet

Mine 2 years+ still doing fine, TGDI

speaking from inside cabin, no weird noise, engine still quiet, vibration didn't get noticeably annoying annoying or worse. Not sure how it is compared to day 1 but at least I didn't get annoyed of any increasingly worse noise/vibration if there is.

my mileage only 20+k now with lots of city drive at hilly area.
